Hi all!
I’m trying to create a Hobbit roleplaying character and would love some help deciding on a surname. I’ve seen that some Hobbits have ‘foot’ in their surname, so which sounds better for my Hobbit?
Littlefoot or Smallfoot?
(I’m planning on having him have slightly smaller feet than the ‘normal’ hobbit).
Thank you! 🙂

I think “small foot” is good😊

Smallfoot is less likely to conjure up images of dinosaurs than Littlefoot. I’m not sure that ‘foot’ was a particularly over-represented surname element. The only one I can think of is Proudfoot.
The list of names that Bilbo rattles off during his birthday speech include Baggins, Boffin, Took, Brandybuck, Grubb, Chubb, Burrows, Hornblower, Bolger, Bracegirdle, Goodbody, Brockhouse, Proudfoot, and Sackville-Baggins. Additionally we know of Gamgee, Maggot, Cotton, Sandyman, Longbottom, Gardner, Banks, (probably more I can’t find at the moment) and what is apparently a common-enough-not-to-stand-out name of Underhill.
Given that you’re going for a family name, Smallfoot sounds like this family must be remarkably notable for having smaller than average Hobbit feet, not just the one character. Which would definitely be a trait worthy of note among Hobbits.

Thank you so much for your help! So say if I go with a family name of Smallfoot (meaning the family is known for their small feet), it would make sense within the lore?
I think I read that there’s other ‘foot’ families such as Whitfoot, Puddifoot, Lightfoot and Twofoot.

I would think so, yes.
